Offshore, you’ll be able to view your progress via video analysis and feedback, and enjoy a massage or Pilates. No need to haul your board across time zones; equipment (along with sunblock) is provided.

Billed as a “test of stamina, strength and fitness,” BodyHoliday’s  weekly Quadrathon takes you on an island challenge, including a 13K bike ride and a 4K run, followed by kayaking 1.5 miles along the north coast of St. Lucia and back to the resort.
